Abstract
Successful telecentres help communities seize knowledge and benefits of the information age on their own terms. This book provides a glimpse into the lives of people who are leading the telecentre movement in their own countries, and of the people who are benefiting from their local telecentres. It provides a snapshot (with plenty of visuals) about how the telecentre movement is evolving. The desire to build social capital is something most telecentres have in common.
